“Awesome experience. Bought a new motor and watched it run on a test stand. Clearly, they mostly do air-cooled motors and have everything to get one in top condition. Performance or daily driver.”

Ask a question
What does the engine warranty cover?
Defects in material and workmanship for six months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first, to the original owner. Accessories are covered for 30 days. The installation must be inspected within 5 days, and the oil changed and valves adjusted at 60 minutes, 300 miles and 1,000 miles, then every 2,500 miles.
How does engine shipping work?
Engines ship by freight. Shipping to a business address with a forklift is free in the lower 48; residential delivery and liftgate service cost extra, and some areas carry an extra fee. Inspect the crate before signing for it.
How fast do parts ship?
In-stock orders received by 5 PM Pacific ship within 72 hours, excluding weekends. Shipping times are estimates. Orders with tracking can be followed on the carrier’s site.
What is the return policy on parts?
Returns must include a copy of the original invoice and arrive within 30 days of the invoice date; a 20% restocking fee applies and the customer pays return shipping. Electrical, carburetor and high-performance parts are not returnable. Anything we ship incorrectly is refunded in full.
How can I pay?
Credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay at checkout, or Zelle. Money orders, cashier’s checks and company checks are accepted in U.S. dollars; company checks need up to 10 banking days to clear before the order is processed.
Can you build something that isn’t on the site?
Yes. Use the custom quote form or call the shop with the car, how you drive it and what you’re after.
